Two Bergen Spots Named Best New Pizzerias

NJ.com food guru Pete Genovese has named his picks for the Best New Pizzerias in Jersey by NJ.com (Read Full Article). The two named from the area are Napoli in Cliffside Park and Urban Tomato in Palisades Park.

Owner Marty makes his own mozzarella and cooks his pies in an imported oven (from Naples) for less than two minutes at temperatures close to 900 degrees. They opened late last year along Anderson Avenue (Read Opening Alert).

Urban Tomato is run by two members of the team previously at Brick Oven Pizza in North Bergen using double deck Bakers Pride ovens. After some experimenting they’re using a trump and durum flour combination with a 65% hydration. They also exclusively serve Toby’s Estate coffee and opened just last month (Read Opening Alert).
